🎯 Negotiation ammo — walk in knowing this
Free. The seller won’t volunteer any of it.
- ✅ Verify this recall: Ignition switch software glitch causing false neutral/stall warning (subject of 2015 recall) — verify recall was performed. Make the seller prove it’s been done — an open recall is money off the price.
- 💸 Budget for this: CVT (if equipped) valve body/TCM issues causing harsh shifts or hesitation, tied to the transmission control module recall — $0–$3,500 if it goes. Check it on the test drive; if it’s near due, negotiate it down.
- 🧾 Your opening line: “2015 Honda Fits have known issues around this mileage — here’s my number.” Milo’s full report hands you the market price and a line-by-line offer script.

Which one to get — and which to avoid
✅ The one to get
2016-2017 EX or EX-L with the 6-speed manual — same GK5 platform with early bugs sorted, plus the manual sidesteps CVT concerns entirely.
🚫 Avoid
Early-build (Dec 2013-Aug 2014) base LX Fits with the CVT that haven't had the ignition switch and TCM recalls completed — stacked electrical gremlins with no leather/tech to offset them.
